1) the albums/artists views only seems to show the last album I added not all the others... now fixed by deleting the idx files (as suggested for a different index related issue), a rescan to build from scratch has restored everything correctly. Presumably if I add more music I run the risk of the index only showing me the new stuff again.. but I'm happy with a work around.
and more importantly.. 2) where did the clock go? I use Media box to play music at night and leave it by my bed, I really liked the big clock view. (and had hoped maybe you'd add some funky start playing albums on alarm type capability) but it's gone ;-(
